    Have had it on pre-order for a while now and will be ordering a 9800 PRO.....proberbly the Hercules one, about 5 days before it's out

    Martin, the 9800 PRO will be needed to run it in full spanking glory, I am sure it will run fine on a lot lower spec system with the detail turned down. We all know it's gonna be a great game, and at the end of the day I prefer gameplay over eye candy.

    Ye supposedly the engine can adjust to best suit your system, i know this has been said before but they do brag about it so it must be quite a gd trick

    What;s wrong with having the money to be able to spend a decent GFX card? Do I not enjoy games as much as someone who can only afford an MX card?

    I'm going to be purchasing a 9600Pro or a 9700 (possibly pro) sometime soon anyway hopefully. Once I gain the cash. Lol.

    Just ordered the 9600 Pro card this morning, should look pretty good on that I hope. In a few of this months PC mags they have been saying October release. Just have to wait and see.

    Doom 3 however isn't going to reach us till 1st quarter next year now though
